Thanks to all those who helped me select my new diamond https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/can-i-do-better.59788/!

Just to let you know, I ended up going with the 1.28 RB eye clean SI1/H with medium fluorescence. I decided on that one after viewing it under an idealscope. Such beautiful hearts and arrows! I already felt that it was a great stone but wanted to make sure. I sent it out to be evaluated and appraised. She reassured me that it was truly a beautiful diamond. Although it looked beautiful, for whatever reason I just needed to know if it was "technically" beautiful. I know...

So, now I am on to the next step of the process....the setting! I''m actually looking for two settings...one for the 1.28 RB and one for my original .82 RB

. Little did my sweetie know that I was going to be getting TWO new rings out of this upgrade!! Hey, it may be a few anniversaries before I get to upgrage again!

So many beautiful rings..but I was thinking maybe something like Vatche''s Swan for the 1.28 or a Ritani setting with channel set diamonds.

and maybe this one for the .82 (SI1/H)

What do you think? Is the setting too much considering my stone didn''t even cost that much? Your opinions would be greatly appreciated!!
 
A 4K setting does seem like a bit much for a .82 stone ... but - hey, if it's what you want! Does it have to be a ring ... I've seen some AMAZING halo pendants -- many from Whiteflash & very reasonably priced. It would make that .80 look like 1ct on your neck - maybe more!

Or -- for THAT much ... I might try to find a twin & have mega-awesome 1.6ish tcw STUDS!

ETA:
Here's your stud!!!!!


Or another stud
 
You know, I could always use a fabulous pair of earrings!
 
Or a Halo Pendant for a budget friendly $775 (platinum) $500ish (white gold) ??
 
I love that halo! You''re probably right on the $4 setting...that diamond has more of sentimental value than anything. Besides, I''m sure my husband would be happier if I got a pendant anyways! LOL!

I bet you'd wear the studs or the pendant more often (like, maybe everyday!) than you would an "extra" e-ring. Even if it was as lovely as that pave halo for 4K. Kaleigh has a pave halo RHR and had some trouble maintaining it -- stone loss etc. There's just not STURDY, yanno. At least super encrusted ones aren't.

That's my 2 cents -- but I can understand being drawn to it -- it's gorgeous!


ETA: i should say that I've not heard of any problems with Ritani's pave though -- they might be sturdIER....
 
I will definitely have to rethink our options with the .82 stone! Do you have any opinons on the other settings for the larger stone? I really like the simple, elegant look of the Vatche piece, but I also love the sparkle of the Ritani. I will say that because of my job (Army helicopter pilot), the ring will not get a whole lot of everyday wear. So this ring will be more for after work, weekends and leave time. I could probably get away with a little more delicate of a ring..maybe.
 
This is the ring for you ... for everyday helicoptering etc.

Sydney Bristow had a similar e-ring on Alias so I always think of it as the "adventure e-ring"!

If you''re stuck on what *YOU* like (so selfish!) I like both of your choices actually -- I couldn''t choose either.

But choose the Alias ring ...
